Oak Hill Park (Barnet)

It is a large area of parkland with a wide range of facilities, including an outdoor gym, a bowls green, football pitches, a golf course, three tennis courts, a multi-sports court and a play area for toddlers.

[2] Oak Hill dates back to at least the 11th century, as part of the Monkenfrith estate owned by the church.

After the dissolution of the Monasteries it was sold in 1536–38 and remained in private ownership until the bulk of the estate – renamed Oak Hill in the late 18th century[3] – was bought by East Barnet Council in 1930 following the death of its last owner Charles Edward Baring Young in 1928.

A monument to Sir Simon Haughton Clarke, owner of Oak Hill in the early 18th Century, stands in the cemetery of St Mary's Church, on the opposite side of the park.
